Orioles third baseman Manny Machado hit his first home run of the season Friday, in a 4-3 win over the Astros.
Machado, who has gotten off to a slow start since returning from a knee injury, was 1 for 4 with one RBI and one run scored, on a solo home run. He also struck out once, while raising his batting average to .161 in 31 at-bats.
Machado has his first home run and extra-base hit out of the way, and still has just one RBI in eight games.
